DOC TRUTH is right....Hands down, it's JR ROTEM. The most slept on producer that no one up here talks about and he's from Moraga(yeah Contra Costa County) and he's produced for EVERYONE from Destiny's Child, 50 cent, Britney Spears, Christina Aguillera, JLo, Busta Rhymes and Dr.Dre even got a beat from him for his Detox record....and he's a super dope ass piano/keyboard player at that. The white boy got heat...his latest hit record is "Beautiful Girls" by Sean Kingston...and Sean is on his label "Beluga Heights"....Baby Bash got a smash from him with my boy Marty James on the hook..JR Rotem, then I'd say Rick Rock...and Rick got alot of tricks up his sleeve coming soon...Marty James is gonna be like a next JRRotem once his shit take off and it's on the runway as we speak...I do love them Sean T and Droop E beats too...and I sure do miss Studio Ton's live mob funk shit...I can't wait til the music cycle turns back into live type mob shit.
Other producers I like that should be making major noise soon: Cosmo, Traxxamillion, D-1 from The Pharmaceuticals, JDef, 6fingaz, Indo from the V, JWells and also Young Charisma from CoCoCounty, Raphael Saadiq, KLOU and the list goes on and on.....and to the rest of you Scott Storch, Dr.Dre, LilJon imitators...quit trying to sound like what's hot on the radio or rap city and get your own signature sound or you'll never be you...Good Luck to all and to all a good night...Peace, Thug & Pro$$$perity, Raytona500 $WR
